My current fight is more with the PCOS and the PTSD, at least for the This week has been challenging for me. I’ve been experiencing withdrawal symptoms, which have left my mind feeling foggy and made it difficult to focus on anything. On the bright side, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my mood. Spending time outside with my feet in the pool was incredible—a simple pleasure I haven’t taken the time to enjoy in years.

Lately, my main struggles have been with PCOS and PTSD. I had bariatric surgery three years ago, and while it was effective initially, I’m now trying to lose weight using new weight-loss medications, and the progress has been frustratingly slow. I’m not seeing any weight loss, so I’ve been reassessing my diet. My bariatric surgeon was right when he said that snacking would be a make-or-break habit for me. The medication is fantastic for portion control, but my biggest challenge is resisting unhealthy snacks.

A doughnut is far more tempting and accessible than taking the time to cut up an apple. My body craves the apple, but my taste buds and mind are drawn to the doughnut. I also struggle with cravings for sweets, especially when I start dreaming about them. Does anyone else have this issue? You try to be good, yet you find yourself dreaming about food?

Please let me know if you see or have suggestions on how to improve. I’m trying to learn how to be a better blogger.
